One of Europe’s most famous silver coins was the Lion Dollar. First issued in 1617 by the Utrecht Mint, the famous design reappeared in 2017 from the modern Royal Dutch Mint to celebrate 400 years since the introduction of the original coinage. The 2019 design offers a new option in the series based on a version of the original design that originated in 1651 in Gelderland. Now, 2019 1 oz Proof Netherlands Silver Lion Dollar Coins are available to you for purchase online from JM Bullion.
Coin Highlights:
This year’s design on the Proof Netherlands Silver Lion Dollar Coin delivers a twist on the reverse design not found on the original issues in this collection. Gone are the waves that were previously featured on the reverse of the 2018 release. The 2019 coins feature a simpler design that focuses solely on the lion and is one that originated from the Gelderland province of the Netherlands in 1651.
Lion Dollars were among the many early trade dollars released by European nations. Historical records state that Dutch merchants quickly preferred the leeuwendaalder, as it is known in Dutch, over the more highly-valued rijksdaalders as it helped to ensure the concentration of wealth in the Netherlands. Rather than repaying foreign debts in rijksdaalders, merchants began using the so-called lion dollars in 1617.
On the reverse side of the 2019 1 oz Proof Netherlands Silver Lion Dollar Coin is the image of a rampant lion. Captured in left-profile relief, the lion is a popular creature in European heraldry and the coat of arms seals of countless monarchs. In fact, both the Dutch and Belgian coat of arms incorporates a singular lion in a rampant pose.
The obverse face of the 2019 Proof Netherlands Silver Lion Dollar Coin has the same design elements as previous issues. You’ll find an armored knight with weapons in his right hand and his head turned slightly back to the left. In front of his figure is the central piece of the Dutch coat of arms, a shield with a single rampant lion.
These 2019 1 oz Proof Netherlands Silver Lion Dollar Coins are available to you today with frosted design elements and mirrored background fields. The coins are housed individually inside of protective plastic capsules from the Royal Dutch Mint.
